Trying to conceive and tretinoin.

Hello, my husband and I have recently starting trying to conceive. He is 37 and I am 36. My question is since actually getting pregnant is such an unpredictable time frame ( immediately, 6 months, 1 year, etc...). Is it safe to stay on a topical tretinoin as long as you stop immediately when you find out you have actually conceived?
